Cultural traditionalism is an ideology that emphasizes the importance of preserving and maintaining cultural practices, values, and beliefs that have been passed down through generations. It often involves a strong attachment to customs, rituals, and social norms that define a community's identity. Proponents believe that these traditions provide stability and continuity in a rapidly changing world. This perspective can be seen in various contexts, such as family structures, religious practices, and art forms. Cultural traditionalism often resists modern influences, advocating for the protection of heritage against globalization and cultural homogenization, which can dilute unique cultural identities.
